Save the date: Whittier Narrows Picnic Ride - Saturday, June 13

[The Passage Announcements]

Don't have all the details for you yet, but thought I'd give a little more advance notice of this ride I (Sean) am planning — rather than just announcing again at the last moment like the prior few rides over the last year or so.


Anyway, I'll keep it brief for now. Here's what I know:

1. A picnic!

2. Saturday, June 13

3. Since it'll be closed for a while for construction work later this fall, thinking it will be nice to pass through the Whittier Narrows area

4. Approx. 20–30 miles, starting and ending at Metro stops (but likely different ones)

5. Slower pace than normal, and absent any hills [beyond normal urban topography], to accommodate non-regular riders. Perhaps still not cruiser/bmx-friendly, but it will be relaxed. Bring your ride-curious friends/loved ones!

6. Not sure on exact timing yet (~10–11am start?), but it will be a daytime ride, straddling lunchtime. I am thinking we'll stop at a Banh Mi place along the way to pick up sammiches. But of course you're welcome to BYO food for the picnic.


So mark yer calendars and stay tuned for the rest of the details, forthcoming probably the week of the ride!
